PERFECT PATTERN OF CHRIST
Rational C rh Idem Unable to Take
Away Divine Attributes of th?
9on.?f<5od,
It la Christ ratler than God whom
Christianity has held np to believers
a? the pattern of perfection for human
ity. It ls the dod incarnate, rather
than the God of the Jews or of nature,
who, being idealised, has taken so
great and saiatary a hold on the mod
ern miad. Arad, whatever else mer
be taken away from uti by rational
criticism. Christ ls still left; a unique
figure, not more unlike all his precur
sors than all his followers, even those
who had the direct benefit of his per
sonal teaching. It ls of no use to say
that Christ, as exhibited in the gos
pels, ls not historical, and that we
know not how much of what ls ad
mirable has been superseded by the
traditions of his followers. Who
among his disciples or among their
proselytes was capable of Inventing
the sayings ascribed to Jesus, or of
Imagining the life and character re
vealed in the gospels? Certainly not
the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly
not St Paul, whose character and
idiosyncrasies were of a totally dif
ferent sort; still less the early Chris
tian writers, in whom nothing ls more
evident than that the good which waa
in them was all derived, as they al
ways professed lt was, from the high
er source.-John Stuart MilL
Misuse of Vis.
A stroll through the shipping dis
trict gives many a wrench to the pur
ist's soul. "In front of all the com
mission houses," he said, "I see bales
and barrels labeled 'via boat* or 'via
train.' Why does not somebody tell
the shipping clerks that every time
they write that they are insulting the
English and every other language?
'Via' can be applied properly only to
the place through which a parcel
passes, not to the means of transpor
tation,"
Don't Expect Kindness.
There are six sorts of people at
whose hands you need not expect much
kindness. The narrow minded think
of nobody but themselves, the lazy are
too Indifferent the busy have not
time to think, the rich disregard ap
peals for kindness, th? poor have
neither spirit nor ability, and th? good
natured fool ls not capable of serving
you,-Home Notes.

Mr. J. P. Sullivan called the pro
gram, and then presented the beau
tiful prizes that the teacher had
offered, in a few well chosen
wo rd H, dwelling upon the affection I
of teacher and pupils for each oth
er.
Elizabeth Sullivan won the prise
for spelling, Lucile Sullivan for at
tendance, and Georgia Coleman for
spelling. Mr. Littlejohn made a
very able speech and Mr. J. P. Sul
livan also made a good talk com
plimenting the teacher and pupils,
and pictured the wide field of suc
cess that is in the future for boys
and girls if they only will make
use of their opportunities. He
spoke of four of our statesmen bas
ing his remarks on General M. C.
Butler, who had spent his life in
the interest of his country, then!
Hon. George D. Tillman, who had j
made us an able congressman, al
ways defending the rights of his
people and country as he saw it.
These have gone to their reward I
and are resting in the shade of the
trees, but their influence is still]
alive and we can think of them with
pride and only wish we had more of
such men. Then he spoke of the
Hon. Jasper Talbert who has served
us so faithfully and ably. A short I
history of the life of Benj. R. Till
man was given, as he was raised
in 5 miles of him, and he is serv
ing us now in the U. S. senate and
Mr. Sullivan said he supposed he
would hold that position as long as
he lived or as long as he asked for
it.
He also pictured to the girls the
high positions that now await them
and urged them to make use of
every opportunity possible to ob
tain as education and said the
height of his ambition will always
be to edscate his children, for the
thief could steal your money and
gold but could not steal your edu
cation. Patron,
Always.
A man always has a ready Bstsasr

DETAILS
The difference between a pen
itentiary and a palace is largely a
matter of detail.
Both are designed for human hab
itation and serve equally well to
protect the inmates from the ele
ments.
But one is a vastly more comfort
able place of abode than the other.
SO IT IS WITH GLASSES
Crudely fitted glasses MAY help
your vision, but great care in every
detail of adjustment is essential to
safety and comfort.
